    Unfortunately this does not have a tag for non drinking water ..
    possible values could be

    non-potable_water

    grey_water



I like grey_water


"grey water" has a specific meaning (waste water that isn't sewage and can be further used for e.g. irrigation). If that's what you mean - great. If you just mean water that you can't drink, then just use something that describes it, like "water".

Although http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:substance says "water == fresh water for drinking purposes" that doesn't match the real world. Mappers adding e.g. irrigation pipes aren't going to check the wiki; they'll just say "that's a water pipe", so data consumers can't assume that "substance=water" == "fresh water for drinking purposes".

Cheers,

Andy
